I pretty much always use one of the aftermarket jags on my knight ramrod with any sort of tipped bullets; the threaded hole has a tendency to grab the gummy tips and pull them out of the sabot :yike:

I use a threaded jag designed for the tipped bullets on both my starter and my rod. But be careful, I had one that was supposed to be for tipped bullets but was the wrong shape and would dig into the tips and pull the bullets a little ways out of the sabot. Not good.

A small amount of the J-B bore paste should be smeared in the center of a lightly oiled patch, then scoured up and down the barrel about 20 times with a good ramrod or range rod. Repeat if bore is severely fouled. Cleanup of the bore is best done with 90% isopropyl alcohol. Then, finish with your normal bore cleaning operation. Maybe Sabotloader can correct my memories of the procedure he taught me, but this has worked so well to restore my bores to like they were on day of purchase. Cheers, -M

New muzzy this year, Knight Bighorn. They have came a long way from last I hunted with one 20 years ago. Anyone have experience with a ball/bullet starter damaging the polymer tips of Barnes bullets? I bought the Barnes jag for my rod, but I'm worried I may damage the tips getting them started. Any advice/experience/recommendations for this? ThanksI had this issue when i first got started shooting those Barnes bullets in my muzzleloader. Using the right jag immediately fixed the problem and I haven't had any issues since.

My new 700 this year has a good open style jag on it so didn't have to add that to that gun, but have done so to all my others.

He also likes pink hats and rainbow skirts :chuckle:

In all seriousness if you can get Powerbelts to group, then good for you. I was never happy with the occasional flyer that would be 6 “ off. Could never figure out why but I suspect because they are so easy to load they aren’t seated very good in the barrel and therefore you are going to get the occasional tumbling flyer. Never get that with TC shockwaves or knight full lead conicals both have sabots.
Oh also I’m glad I stayed away from them because in Oregon the law is written that your bullet may NOT have a plastic base attached or otherwise.

Weigh them and you will see why you have flyers
Not interested in doing that, no flyers with shockwaves or knights. I bought one pack Of powerbelts tried them then Gave them all away years ago cause the other two group perfect so no need to mess around With anything else.
